The Pas Arts Council recently recognized the efforts of one of its long-standing dedicated volunteers. Jan McDonald has served as a volunteer with The Pas Arts Council for 37 years. It started out as a position with the organization, but then she decided to stay on as a volunteer.
“I had been attending The Pas Arts Council events for years and when a job posting came up for an Arts Council Coordinator I applied and got the job,” said McDonald. “I worked in the position for two years and then I decided I would stay on as the volunteer treasurer.
“I have been the volunteer treasurer since 1987 and the chair of the touring committee. Other positions I have held have been the chair of the Northern Juried Art Show (NJAS), the chair of the Northern Arts Committee, the Northern rep on the Manitoba Arts Network, and chair of the Cultural Days Committee.”
